Over the weekend, Antifa anarchists draped in black masks and carrying home-made weapons disrupted a peaceful demonstration and counter-demonstration in Berkeley, CA. The violence from the alt-Left group was so obvious and one-sided that even the Washington Post framed their article with no uncertain condemnation of the thugs in their headline: Black-clad antifa members attack peaceful right-wing demonstrators in Berkeley.
So why is this group, whose political ties clearly lean in synchronicity with the Bernie Sanders/Elizabeth Warren wing of the Democratic Party, not being condemned by Democrats for their thuggery and violence? And, more importantly, why isn’t the media demanding Democrats do so in the same way they demanded Republicans condemn neo-Nazis and White Nationalists?

Specifically -- by individual name -- which Democrats or media types (redundant) have denounced and condemned this? Which ones?
Why isn't the corrupt media running to every nearby Democrat and sticking a mic in their face and breathlessly asking them what they think of Antifa and their now espoused position? When will Democrats be asked to condemn this divisive hate? Every Democrat!
The media!? Try rich lowry. Just sitting there while a former clintin aide says four loud times that violence from the right is much worse than Antigua
Disgusting
And half of the Republicans starting with Cohn, Ryan, McCain, Romney.....

I’ve been saying since C-ville, when AntiFa fought with the KKK, that what we were seeing was the new paramilitary arm of the Democrat party fighting the old one.
Precisely!
Why? Because they simply re-organized the KKK into AntiFa. Same song, new lyrics.
I was rather impressed with article. I always thought that mediate was a far left site.
Yep, that’s true. The theory here is that the violence is backfiring on the Alt-Left, so they’re trying to shut it down. Amazing how fast they pivot.
I would be willing to wager that they're not going to be able to do so, without a replay of the Night of the Long Knives, where the SturmAbteilung was destroyed after it became a problem ...
I wasn’t on the inside, but I did go to a conservative school (ESU). The student newspaper’s editorials and columns were generally conservative, or at least neutral. But several times a week, there would be a HORRIFIC, HATE-FILLED, piece by a guest author.
And every time, without exception, that author was described as a student majoring in ‘journalism’ or ‘communications’.
I don’t know about ‘communications’ as a major, but I still have NO CLUE why a 4 year degree is needed for ‘journalism’. Seems to me that the job is finding news (and that’s usually spoon-fed) and writing stories. Any decent 2 year grad can handle that just fine.
But the media painted the tea partiers as the violent ones. I went to many TP gatherings. Any and all violence was caused by antifa types who infiltrated, causing trouble that was then tagged to the 80 year old women in the red white and blue hats with tea bags hanging off of them. Those bitches were brutal! /sarc.
Stupid fricking media. No bigger enemy of the USA. Ever.
These are the Democrats new Brown Shirts, just wearing a different color now. They destroy, fight, disrupt, all things democrats in power and with money can sit in their salons and smile and appreciate their efforts. If there is conservative blood on the streets, spit in their hair and on their faces and any other mayhem, too bad. These thugs need to be declared a terrorist group, infiltrated and destroyed. Where is Donald Trump? Why hasnt this happened?
Why should the Dems denounce Antifa? Paul
Ryan won’t!
“Night of the Long Knives”
Interesting...don’t put it past them.
Because they are media darlings.
Dr William Bennett said that the DNC sold their soul for a mess of pottage by never asking Bill Clinton to resign because of what he did too and with the intern with the hat. It was unseemly and beneath the Office, remember POTUS is as much the Office as a person. He was spot on, they have never apologized for anything or asked anyone to resign including Mel Roberts (remember that with the 15 yr old) since then.
Face it, they have no standard of value, unless is it is PC and SJW-ism.
The DNC sold their soul for Clinton, they will never get it back.
They can't kick Antifa out, my guess is a number of Bernie's kids secretly think it is cool and want to stick it to Conservatives. With that said do they loose these loons if they say no mas and do they fracture and form another party before we do ( because we are sick of the RNC ) ? I don't think the DNC is one happy family especially after what they did to Bernie and the Bernsters...
